Maricá Inaugurates Offshore Passenger Terminal to Serve Pre-Salt

With Capacity to Receive 500 Passengers Per Day to Serve Offshore Activities from the Pre-Salt, Maricá Gains Attention

Maricá takes another important step towards its economic development. Last Monday (25), a terminal to serve passengers working in the offshore chain in the pre-salt was inaugurated in the city, next to the Araçatiba airport. Some say the city will become the new El Dorado in the production chain, oil, and gas logistics. In 2017, Maricá collected more than 680 million in oil royalties, leaving behind the traditional cities of Macaé and Campos dos Goytacazes.

Some Parameters of the Terminal

The offshore terminal supports the flow of 500 passengers daily and has a landing and takeoff runway of 1200 meters, dedicated exclusively to these types of activities. These standards were established by aviation regulatory agencies. Check below for more facilities in the terminal’s internal area:

Although offshore demands in the city are occurring normally, Bacia de Santos, the Maricá airport is in the process of adjustment and alignment of guidelines, despite being inaugurated. There is still no expected date for it to be immediately used by oil and gas companies. Investments reached the mark of 10 million reais in this airport.

Macaé Did Not Fall Behind

For many years, Macaé airport has only served offshore logistics activities, but now it will start to cater to commercial flights from all over Brazil to accommodate the new cycle of prosperity in the city. As Macaé receives people and workers from almost all over the country and even from around the world, this is an inevitable milestone. On April 24, the terms were signed, and the company responsible for the airport expansion is from Minas Gerais (learn more here).
